The Tiger Who Came to Tea is a short children’s story, first published in 1968, written and illustrated by Judith Kerr.
The book concerns a girl called Sophie, her mother, and an anthropomorphised tiger who invites himself to their afternoon tea and consumes all the food and drink they have.
The book remains extremely popular more than 50 years after it was first published, and a theatrical adaptation of the story is being staged by St Helens Theatre Royal.
